The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I’m now using Debian with Gnome permanently.

I’m not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro’s. I’m running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.
